The scene is just about set at Celtic Manor to host the 38th Ryder Cup, with the two 12 man teams now fully revealed. Although there was much debate about his inclusion in the US team, as expected US Captain, Corey Pavin selected world number one, Tiger Woods as one of his four wild card picks, along with Stewart Cink, Ricky Fowler and former US Masters champion, Zach Johnson. Woods inclusion however did nothing to change the minds of the Bookmakers who make the European team odds on favourites in the Ryder Cup betting to regain the Trophy. Paddy Power for instance quote Europe at 4/6 with Team USA at 6/4 with the tie being a best price 11/1 shot, they change the USA odds slightly in the ‘To lift the Trophy’ market, making them shorter with odds of 11/10.
it would appear that both teams will come into the competition with plenty of players in great form. For USA they have Steve Stricker for instance a two time winner on tour this year and who has three top ten finishes in his last five events. Phil Mickelson won his third US masters crown this season, while stalwart, Jim Furyk is also a two time winner in 2010. Of the less well known Americans, Matt Kuchar is the leader of the FedEx Cup standings and has risen to number 11 in the World Rankings and Hunter Mahan, who played brilliantly in the 2008 Ryder Cup is also a two time winner this year, which includes the prestigious WGC Bridgestone Invitational.

In all the American team comprises of four of the top five players in the world, with a further three in the top twenty and of the other five, only Stewart Cink, Jeff Overton and Ricky Fowler are winless this year, but the latter have a host of top ten finishes between them and Cink of course won the 2009 Open Championship.
2010 Ryder Cup Odds Comparison
Europe captain, Colin Montgomerie proved in his wild card selections that he is prepared to make difficult decisions, a quality he will need in abundance when he selects his foursome teams and the running order of the singles matches on the final day. He will fortunately have a fit again Lee Westwood in his ranks, who has looked the best European for a couple of years now, despite not yet winning a coveted ‘Major’. Westwood is the eighth highest scoring European Ryder Cup player of all time and is ranked third in the world and has excellent odds of 5/1 with Paddy power to be Top European Player at Celtic Manor. See full market prices below.
Europe of course will also have their two ‘Major’ winners in their line up this year, Graeme McDowell, won the US Open in June and Martin Kaymer of course took the US PGA Championship in August. In addition, Rory McIlroy, who has rocketed up the world rankings to number 7, will be a real tough nut to beat in match-play, as will Spain’s Miguel Angel Jimenez, a three time winner on the European tour this year. Montgomerie’s selection of Edoardo Molinari might well be inspired as he will be joining his brother Francesco in the team, a year after the two combined to win the Omega Mission Hills World Cup, which makes them an ideal pairing for the fourballs and foursomes. Paddy Power Bookmakers have created a ‘Molinari Special’s market for the event in which they are offering 28/1 about Edoardo Molinari scoring five points from five games and 40/1 about Francesco achieving the same.
